There is eye witness evidence that there were 5 couples in Israel, therefore the NEL must be either this episode or the next. If the next two legs are still in Europe, I would predict that this leg is a NEL and then maybe a train journey to Krakow?

Could it be that 5 couples in Israel were racing to throw us off the scent. I wouldn't put it past these TV executives trying to do something sneaky given this forum knows everything that is going on. Bit like filming two endings to a show so that nobody can leak the result.

TV GUIDE: The remaining teams become Czech spies, but not all are as observant as they need to be. Taking to the ice-skating rink to line up against the national ice hockey goal keeper proves to be the most physically gruelling challenge so far on the race for some teams. Meanwhile, one team finds itself in the sights of the local police, and the local sausage sizzle doesn't appeal to everyone's tastebuds.

I think the 'local sausage' is jitrnice, or else kielbasa (though I would think they'd have kielbasa in Poland). The 'Czech spy' task sounds original, while the other points were seen in previews earlier.

The mine, then, is most likely leg 8, meaning the teams spotted there/around there (surfers, girls, Chris/Ana, Tom/Matt by airport spoilers) are good this round.

Hi, guys. I am from the Czech Republic and I am a huge TAR fan...but thatīs not the point

According to the promo I think that the next destination city will be Plzen, Czech Republic.

Here you can see Plzen and Prague (Praha) on the map.

As we can see in the promo, there will be a "transport boxes task" in a brewery or beer factory (Iīm not sure about the right word). Plzen is the beer capitol of the Czech Republic (and because I am a patriot I must say itīs also the beer capitol of the world ). The brand of the beer seen in the video is "Gambrinus", which is made in Plzen (itīs not the best of our beers but nevermind ).

Jeff and Luke are desperate to win one leg, feel that those remaining are the best of the best.

Matt and Tom feel its pretty good to get this far, and now might as well go all the way to the end.

15 minute walk apparently to the house. The farmers choose to walk it.

T/N first to the Dancing House and find the car

"Drive yourselves to the Zimni Ice Hockey rink and face off against a Czech national goalie, once they score they'll get their next clue (Very tough for a country where barely anybody can ice skate, let alone play hockey)

J/L and C/A have found their cars together, both get confused by the storage space being in the front.

Dave and Kelly depart at 6:45 AM and take a tram to the dancing house.

Dave: "We're not the strongest team, but we persevere."

Dave is 57 years old.

M/T are now being told its a 40 minute walk. Tom: "Maybe the walking option wasn't such a great idea."

The hockey building will open at 7:30 AM

S/R depart at 6:57 AM, take a yellow cab to teh dancing house.

Matt and Tom have finally found their car, driving to the ice hockey stadium and can't find the boot.

They've called their car Bindi, because its Khaki. (Bindi Irwin is the late Steve Irwin's daughter.)

Chris just misses, Jeff gets blocked. Tyler skates in and scores, they leave in first.

Chris tries to shoot right, ends up scoring on the left side.

Teams must now drive to St Nicholas Cathedral and climb the tower, then must use a camera to take a picture of a "person of interest" waving a race flag.

Dave and Kelly are at the rink and on the ice, Kelly is struggling and slides forward in a seated position. Dave falls. And falls again. Luke misses, Jeff scores and they're out of here. He falls one more time for good measure. Matt and Tom arrive at the rink number 5.

Matt has never seen snow or ice apart from in the freezer. Matt falls and Tom laughs. Tom falls and Matt laughs.

Dave takes a hard knock onto his knee. The goalie pokes his puck away and Dave looks like he wants to put the stick through his head.
